    GOAL: Millwall 2-0 Rotherhampublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Cameron Humphreys og (66 mins)

    Finally, Millwall make their domination pay even if they do go 2-0 up through a fair bit of luck.

    Zian Flemming picks out Tom Bradshaw with a ball over the top. He runs into the box and has a shot which takes a massive deflection off the outstretched leg of centre-back Cameron Humphreys and diverts straight into the net.

    Viktor Johansson can only watch it go by.

    GOAL: Blackpool 1-1 Sunderlandpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Ross Stewart (66 mins)

    Sunderland level things thanks to their talisman Ross Stewart.

    The Scot is going to end up looking like Atlas come the end of the season, such is the weight on his shoulders to keep firing the goals for Sunderland.

    He gets his head on the ball into the box after Trai Hume nodded it into the mix, just minutes after he bruised the crossbar with an effort.

    Huddersfield 1-1 Luton

    Superb save from Ethan Horvath denies Michal Helik's effort from a banger of a free-kick, as Luton survive a Terriers raid.

    Reece Burke is on for Luton too, for the first time since September. Good to see him back.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Tom Bradshaw might well leave today wondering how he hasn't got a hat-trick.

    Seconds after seeing a chance saved by Viktor Johansson, he gets on the end of a cross from Andreas Voglsammer but heads his effort wide.

    Millwall still only one goal in front this afternoon despite having 18 shots...

    Dean Holden is awaiting his first win as Addicks boss while Danny Cowley's Portsmouth side are looking at one win in 14 games unless things change dramatically.

    Blackpool 1-0 Sunderland

    One player who might be sitting in a particularly deep ice bath tonight is Blackpool's Ian Poveda.

    He's been chopped and clipped more than Phil Foden's hair and scalp.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Viktor Johansson is having a good afternoon, much to the delight of Rotherham fans, as Millwall see another chance go begging in front of goal.

    Johansson reacts quickly to palm away a header from Tom Bradshaw from close range and prevent him getting his second goal of the afternoon.

    Coventry 1-1 Bristol City

    Flashes of danger from Coventry as the ball is slid through to Martyn Waghorn. He beats the Bristol City defence but then sends his shot wide.

    Viktor Gyokeres then gets through on goal but Zak Vyner is slides in with an excellent sliding tackle to deny him a goal.

    Blackpool 1-0 Sunderland

    Amad Diallo has been very influential of late for Sunderland and he's starting to impose himself now.

    Chris Maxwell has to turn his effort away for a corner, and the Tangerines clear off the line shortly after.

    Plymouth look good value for a 12th win in 13 home games as Morgan Whittaker has fired in off the post to put them 3-1 up against MK Dons.

    Alfie May has taken advantage of a horrendous defensive error to halve the deficit for Cheltenham at Bristol Rovers, though they still trail 2-1.

    Caleb Watts and Kieran Phillips have bottom side Morecambe in dreamland, they lead 4-0 against Burton - they've now scored nearly 20% of their league goals this season this afternoon.

    Huddersfield 1-1 Luton

    Lee Nicholls again proves his value to Huddersfield between the sticks, as he saves from an Alfie Doughty free-kick for Luton.

    Finely poised this.

    Walsall have doubled their lead at home to Mansfield with a fine header from Liam Kinsella - two goals in five minutes either side of the break for the hosts.

    Mo Sylla has given Hartlepool the lead against Harrogate, another team who have scored in quick succession either side of the interval.

    Blackpool 1-0 Sunderland

    Blackpool not far away from a second again, Callum Connolly wraps around the back from a set-piece and gets on the end of the delivery to steer on goal.

    Anthony Patterson sprawls his way to a save. Keeping them in it.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Dan Barlaser sets up Hakeem Odoffin in the box but he drags a shot wide as he takes a shot at goal.

    Rotherham starting with a bit more intent and like they hope to go on, it seems.

    Blackpool 1-0 Sunderland

    One-nil the Tangerines and it's seaside misery for the Black Cats so far.
